When Sho’nuff\, the self-proclaimed “Shogun of Harlem”\, catches wind of Leroy’s abilities\, he challenges the youth to a fight to see who will glow brightest as the baddest butt-kicker in town.\n\nReleased in 1985\, this f ilm broke with tradition by featuring a mostly-black cast in a kung-fu acti on movie.
